Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HELI 100 at none against Dissolve's shown. HELI 100 also leads on ratings volume (780 vs 118) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Dissolve's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (84% vs 71%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HELI 100 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Dissolve sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dissolve holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HELI 100 has 780 ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of HELI 100's written reviews are positive against 84% of Dissolve's.
HELI 100 ships an update every 2 months, Dissolve fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
